Tamman Gets Ready for M-Enabling 2022
Tamman joins 10 years of digital accessibility innovation
Tamman is thrilled to be back in person at the M-Enabling Summit, taking place in Arlington, VA, from October 24th to 26th. This year marks the conference’s 10th anniversary, and the Global Initiative for Inclusive Information Communication Technologies (G3ict) has set the bar high with the theme: Digital Inclusion: Strategies for Equal Opportunities.
We’re buzzing with anticipation to hear from all the amazing speakers and exhibitors, but there are a few folks who have us extra excited.
One of our team members heard Judy Brewer speak at an A11y Meetup in Princeton, NJ. Judy Brewer is a leading figure in web accessibility. She has spent decades advocating for accessible technology and has played a crucial role in developing global standards and guidelines that ensure the web is usable by everyone. Her talk was a mix of technical know-how and real-life struggles that left our team member fired up to make a difference. Judy will be sharing her insights on “Next Steps for Digital Accessibility Policies and Standards.”
She’ll be joined by Dr. Sachin Dev Pavithran, Executive Director of the U.S. Access Board. Dr. Pavithran is a leading expert in digital accessibility, overseeing research and development for the Access Board. With decades of experience in assistive technology and inclusive education, he has been instrumental in promoting accessible design and training worldwide. We’re particularly eager to hear their priorities, especially after hosting their recent Board meeting in our Philadelphia office.
Allyant is a new name for an old friend of Tamman’s, merging T-base, CommonLook, and Accessible 360 into one entity – very exciting. Tamman has partnered with CommonLook for many years, ensuring digital documents are accessible, and we can’t wait to learn more about their expanded services post-merger.
On Wednesday, the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) will host a thought leadership forum on strategies to scale up digital accessibility implementation. This is a must-attend for anyone looking to bring back actionable insights and contribute to the push for more accessible workplaces.
If you’ll be attending the M-Enabling Summit, we hope to see you in one of these sessions or around Arlington!
